Famous quotes containing the words not a and/or typewriter:
“In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed
but this is the typewriter that sits before me
and love is where yesterday is at.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
